Five tries, 33-7 and another Stormers bonus-point feast! But Evan Roos and Leolin Zas limped off injured, while 14 first-half knock-ons left John Dobson with plenty to ponder. A month to recover, regroup and sharpen up.
The DHL Stormers continued their impressive United Rugby Championship campaign with a commanding 33-7 victory over Ulster at DHL Stadium. Five tries and a 13-point contribution from emerging flyhalf Yaqeen Ahmed highlighted an accomplished team performance. The result extended the Stormers’ home bonus-point winning sequence to four matches.
Harmer did the HARM! Kagiso Rabada struck three times to crack Australia’s top order before Simon Harmer spun the visitors into submission with 6-16. Australia bowled out for 111. South Africa win by 176 runs and clinch the Dafabet Test series 2-1 at Newlands!
Centuries from Ryan Rickelton (101) and Wiaan Mulder (115) have rescued South Africa and set Australia 288 to win the deciding Test. The Proteas need 10 wickets on Saturday to seal the series. Australia need a record-challenging chase. A blockbuster final day awaits!
The next generation is taking the wheel! Yaqeen Ahmed at flyhalf, Markus Muller at inside centre and Haashim Pead waiting in the wings. The Stormers welcome Ulster to DHL Stadium on Saturday with youthful firepower and top-four ambitions. Buckle up, Cape Town!
Professional sport demands accountability, resilience and performance. It should also demand perspective. Salmaan Moerat’s return to the Springbok squad following his move to La Rochelle highlights the importance of environment, mental confidence and sustained selection faith. John Dobson’s comments offer a timely reflection on the responsibility that comes with public criticism.
